Strikers Make Things Mighty UNPLEASANT.
BosroN, Feb. 2O.--Aserious riot occurred
In East Cambridge this afternoon as a re-
suit Of the recent street car tie-up. Short
ly after noon. large crowd Of strikers and
their sympathizers gathered on Main
street, Cambridgeport, and as the various
cars OF the Cambridge line passed, the
conductors and drivers were hooted
as "scabs. " At 130 D. m.
there was great mob at tho
junction OF the Webster-street line with
that on Main street, and rs car turned
into Webster avenue the mob began hurl-
ing bricks and stones at the car and it's oc-
cupants. BY the time the car got through
the crowd IL was complete wreck. Each
succeeding car was similarly treated un-
til no less than Ave cars had been badly
damaged. Then the police were telephon-
ed for and within twenty minutes large
force of officers appeared on the scene.
The mob had by this time been worked up
to high degree Il excitement and when
the officers attempted to disperse the
crowd they met with determined re-
sistance. Bricks and stones were thrown
at the police and many OF the officers
were injured. The police then charged
the mob with drawn revolvers and it in
stantly scattered in all directions. About
dozen Of the strikers were arrested and
conveyed to the police station. A littlo
later the mob assembled again
further down the avenue and wrecked an
other car. The police, reinforced by a
mounted squad, now charged the crowd on
the ''double quick" and the mob dispersed
after discharging a volley of bricks at the
police. These missiles took effect in at
least a dozen cases, and as many officers
were more or less seriously injured An
other lot Of prisoners was taken, and the
station-housewas filled with those arrested.
None of those injured are thought to be
fatally hurt. There was no further trou-
BILE after the last effective dispersion Of
the mob. In South Boston to-day there
were a few minor disturbances between
individual strikers and "scabs," and a
number on both sides were arrested, but
the cars Of the company were not inter-
fered with. In this section both sides arc
firm and the outcome is still uncertain.

tempted killing of Chinese wo-
man by Ong You, and his subse-
quent arrest and incarceration in
the county Jail. On Saturday eve
ming he was admitted into the
kitchen to assist in the culinary de-
partmont and before his departure
he secreted knife, with which he
attempted to commit suicide. At
some hour of the night not known,
he drew the knife across his
throat, almost severing the wind
pipe. There were two cuts on the
throat. He appears to have COM
menced at one point, and becoming
discouraged, made a second at
tempt with better success. He had
cut his left wrist to the bone, sever
ing the arteries and leaders. When

are not necessarily fatal.

On Wednesday night, shortly
after nine o'clock two miners named
Johnson and Cratsenberg were held
up by two foot pads in the vicinity
Of the Central lodging house where
they were stopping. Johnson, who
is a young Mormon, just out in the
world on his ewn hook, was relieved
of fifty dollars in money and his
watch, and after being held up was
so badly scared that he made
break for the hills, crossed the
river three times and finally brought
up at the smelter, wet and shiver-
ing with cold and half scared to
death. His companion contributed
the sum of five dollars to the rob-
bers and then came to town and re-
ported the occurrence. The miners
say that the men who robbed them
were both short in statue and had
their faces concealed by a mask of
white cloth. Both wore armed and
used their revolvers as q cheerful

In company with manager Spen-

on Wednesday last When we ar
rived at the mine we found Mr.. j

gine. When after few requests
that he would land us safely at the
bottom of the shaft we descended.
When the sump was reached we
were by W. IL. Townsend, who
with the assistance of our guide,
managed to get us over the sump
into the lower level of the once fa-
nous, and yet to be bonanza, Morn
ing Star mine. The drift from the
shaft has heen run north several
hundred feet with a good lode all |
the way, averaging about three feet |
in width. Some stoping has been |
done, but there is yet large guam
tity of fine milling ore in the mine,
n which gold can be seen glisten-

ooks well, and is fully up to what
t has been reported. 1t has hard
y been prospected, the shaft being
'nly 225 feet deep. Mr.. Spencer,
